Cleaning
Frequent, thorough cleaning of your ATV will not only enhance its appearance but will improve its general performance and extend the useful life of many components.
1. Before cleaning the ATV:
a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipe to prevent water entry. A plastic bag and strong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plug and all filler caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively greasy, apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do not apply de-greaser to the chain, sprockets or wheel ax-les.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose. Use only enough pressure to do the job.
CAUTION:
ECB00710
Excessive water pressure may cause water seepage and deterioration of wheel bearings, brakes, transmission seals and electrical de-vices. Many expensive repair bills have
result-ed from improper high-pressure detergent applications such as those available in coin-operated car washers.
4. Once most of the dirt has been hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm water and mild, detergent-type soap. An old toothbrush or bot-tle brush is handy for hard-to-reach places.
5. Rinse the ATV off immediately with clean wa-ter and dry all surfaces with a chamois, clean towel or soft absorbing cloth.
6. Dry the chain and lubricate it to prevent it from rusting.
7. Clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the cover pliable and glossy.
8. Automotive type wax may be applied to all painted and chrome plated surfaces. Avoid combination cleaner-waxes. Many contain abrasives which may mar the paint or protec-tive finish. When finished cleaning, start the engine and let it idle for several minutes.

Always store your ATV in a cool, dry place and, if necessary, protect it against dust with a porous cover.
CAUTION:
ECB00720
●Storing the ATV in a poorly ventilated room or covering it with a tarp while it is still wet, will allow water and humidity to seep in and cause rust.
●To prevent corrosion, avoid damp cellars, stables (because of the presence of
ammo-nia) and areas where strong chemicals are stored.
Long-term
Before storing your ATV for several months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the “Cleaning”
section of this chapter.
2. Turn the fuel cock lever to “OFF”.
3. Drain the carburetor float chamber by loosen-ing the drain bolt; this will prevent fuel deposits from building up. Pour the drained fuel into the fuel tank.
4. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer (if available) to prevent the fuel from deteriorat-ing.
5. Perform the following steps to protect the cyl-inder, piston rings, etc. from corrosion.
a. Remove the spark plug cap and spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into the spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto the spark
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operation with wet brakes after washing.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Wet brakes may have reduced stopping abil-ity, increasing the chance of an accident.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Test the brakes after washing. Apply the brakes several times at slow speeds to let friction dry out the linings.
Specified amount:
7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel (or 1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel)

plug, and then place the spark plug on the cylinder head so that the electrodes are grounded. (This will limit sparking during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several times with the starter. (This will coat the cylinder wall with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug, and then install the spark plug and the spark plug cap.
6. Lubricate all control cables and the pivoting points of all levers and pedals.
7. Check and, if necessary, correct the tire air pressure, and then block up the ATV so that all of its wheels are off the ground. Alternative-ly, turn the wheels a little every month in order to prevent the tires from becoming degraded in one spot.
8. Cover the muffler outlet with a plastic bag to prevent moisture from entering it.
9. Remove the battery and fully charge it. Store it in a cool, dry place and charge it once a month. Do not store the battery in an exces-sively cold or warm place [less than 0 °C (30
°F) or more than 30 °C (90 °F)]. For more in-formation on storing the battery, see page
8-38.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before storing the ATV.
